Extron electronic 450 manual Use Dhcp check box, Subnet mask

Valid addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields, properly called octets, separated by dots (periods). Each octet can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes, up to 3 digits total per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.

The default addresses are as follows, but if these conflict with other equipment at your installation, you can change the addresses to any valid value:

• IP address 192.168.254.254 • Gateway address 0.0.0.0

•Subnet mask 255.255.0.0

NOTES:

•The address fields are unavailable when DHCP is selected.

•Editing the addresses while connected via the Ethernet port can immediately disconnect the user from the switcher. Extron recommends editing this field using one of the RS-232 ports and protecting the Ethernet access by assigning an administrator password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.

The Extron Name/Descriptor field contains the name of the matrix switcher. This descriptor can be changed to any valid name, up to 12 alphanumeric characters.

The Mail Server Domain Name field displays the domain name that the matrix switcher uses to log on to the e-mail server. Standard domain conventions (such as xxx.com) apply.

NOTE: Certain characters are reserved for specific functions (see Special Characters on page 109). In the Mail Server Domain Name field, the @ character is only acceptable as the lead-in to the domain name (such as @folklore.net).

Edit any of these fields as follows:

1.Click in the desired field. The graphic cursor becomes a text cursor.

2.Edit the address or name as desired.

3.Press the <Tab> key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the field.

4.Click the Take button to make the address change take affect.

Hardware Address field

The hardware address is hardcoded in the matrix switcher and cannot be changed.

Use DHCP check box

The Use DHCP check box directs the matrix switcher to ignore any entered IP addresses and to obtain its IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server (if the network is DHCP capable). Contact the local system administrator to determine whether to use DHCP.

Date, Time (local), and GMT (offset) fields

The Date field displays the current date in the Greenwich Mean Time zone. The Time (local) field displays the current time in the local time zone.

The GMT field displays the amount of time, in hours and minutes, that the local time varies from the GMT international time reference.

NOTE: Rather than the following procedure, your can click the Sync Time to PC button to set the switcher to the internal time of your computer.
